These are shipped UPS Surepost. That means that UPS may or may not hand off your crap to your local post office. For some whacko reason, they sometimes mark it as delivered even though it's at your post office.

Lately Enpass hasn't played nicely with it (currently running Oreo 8.1 beta). So even after waiting in VoP for several minutes and reaching login screen, I had to manually get my Amazon password from Enpass, go back to login for Woot, enter the password, and go through checkout.

I missed out on thanksgiving crap, but scored this morning, although there was much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments as I had to pass through the vestibule before emerging victorious on the other side!

What awaits me in the Big ol' Cornucopia? I have no idea, and honestly, I'm a little bit scared! Woohoo!

(for all you spreadsheet lovers out there) UNofficially, here is a spreadsheet I roughed out for the one per 10 days, starting with Black Friday. Thus, if you scored crap on Friday, Nov 24, then you would be past the 10 day limitation on ** note: Monday, Dec 4 should apparently read as Tuesday, Dec 5, as day of attempted purchase apparently does not count in the 10 day calculation ** See TT's post later on this page **

You may be right, I may be crazy

Due to a backend software change, I will have a different method to locating and canceling duplicate orders - people ordering another Big ol' Cornucopia with a different account.

My guess is that I will find more than before.

If it looks like a duplicate, I will cancel it. No exceptions and no remorse on my end.

So I have a quick question:
How do you search for duplicates now? (I know you can't tell me exactly, then everyone who wants more than one will just work around your system) But, I'm asking because my brother and I often try to buy Big ol' Cornucopias together around the same time and since we also live in the same house, it could be seen as a duplicate. I would hate to see one of our Big ol' Cornucopias cancelled because it looks like a duplicate.

She's said before that she primarily looks at credit card names and billing addresses. I know there are some other things in there as well, but basically if you're using two different credit cards without the same name you should (probably) be ok.

There will be a few letters with each Big ol' Cornucopia batch in Advent.

Dang, mine was one that got canceled. I was shipping it to a friend in Texas, even used their address for shipping. I'm sorry, TT, I thought as long as the destination address was different - especially by a state - it was alright to use the same payment & billing addy.

Alright, thanks for the info! We'll see what happens when/if my brother can score a Big ol' Cornucopia.

I did get through this morning. Your chart says I should be good to go but I got the dreaded "only one per 10 days" notice. I got my last crap on 11/24.... I did not score my crap until 1:23pm on the 24th. Is it to the minute?

Nope, it's 10 days not counting the day you purchased.

More technically, we look backwards. When you purchase, we look back 10 days - not counting that day - to see if you've had a crap purchase. That's 10 full days, not counting the day you're trying to buy the crap.

Ah, I think I found where I was confused!

In the 1793 French Republican (also sometimes referred to as French Revolutionary)Calendar design there were twelve months, each divided into three ten-day weeks called décades. The tenth day, décadi, replaced Sunday as the day of rest and festivity. The five or six extra days needed to approximate the solar or tropical year were placed after the months at the end of each year and called complementary days. This arrangement was an almost exact copy of the calendar used by the Ancient Egyptians, though in their case the beginning of the year was marked by summer solstice rather than autumn equinox

Frimaire ran from November 21 through December 20 and was considered the month of wintry weather.

Each day in the Republican Calendar was divided into ten hours, each hour into 100 decimal minutes, and each decimal minute into 100 decimal seconds. Thus an hour was 144 conventional minutes (more than twice as long as a conventional hour), a minute was 86.4 conventional seconds (44% longer than a conventional minute), and a second was 0.864 conventional seconds (13.6% shorter than a conventional second).

Clocks were manufactured to display this decimal time, but it did not catch on. Mandatory use of decimal time was officially suspended 7 April 1795, although some cities continued to use decimal time as late as 1801.

So I see your point, TT (and it's a decimal )

According to TT, it's apparently more like 11 days (day of purchase doesn't count in the 10 - day period) My apologies for any misinformation I might have unwittingly provided. Like I said, it was just something I roughed out and was certainly not intended to be official word. My bad.

Woot programming seems to be pretty good about letting you know when you aren't yet out of quarantine from your most recent exposure to crap.

Got my shipping notice for the “Cr@pv3nt 4 A11” from 12/4. Went from Dallas to Mesquite then Fort Worth. Always fun to see how these things get shuttled around. Maybe it will arrive today, maybe it won’t. We shall see!
